There was a regime of software the let you write in an almost read/write fashion to CDs.  It didn't really delete anything just write updated directory info.  However in using these they couldn't be finalised during use.  Once you'd finished with the thing, or it was "FULL" then you had to finalise it to make it "transportable" like a regular CD-ROM..
